50% Power Adjustment: Closer power can be increased
by 50% over the minimum closing force for each closer size by rotating the 11/16"

Adjustable Backcheck Positioning: An independent
valve, hex-key-operated, allows adjustment of the point, in the door's opening cycle, at

Special Feature Closers
Adjustable
Delayed Action Closing: An optional hydraulic feature that adds a third speed range to
the closing control cycle. This feature becomes effective when the door is opened and
released at any point beyond 70°. This delayed closing enables traffic to clear the
opening before the normal closing cycle starts. This feature is advantageous to the
handicapped and elderly. It is also valuable for wheeled or other traffic where delayed
closing is desirable. Backcheck cushioning and backcheck positioning are standard with all
closers including closers with Adjustable Delayed Action Closing. Order Series 7770DA.
Enhanced Backcheck (EBC): initiates backcheck at
15° instead of the normal 72°. This optional feature is especially useful in prison
installations where the door presents a potential threat for bodily injury. The intensity
of enhanced backcheck is fully adjustable. It is available in place of the standard
adjustable backcheck and backcheck position features.
Mounting Plate No. 7778: Available for a narrow top
rail. Attachments are TORX head screws. See accessories, page 13.
